Lifezone Metals Limited?s provided results from its 2023 Safari Link diamond drilling exploration program at its Kabanga Nickel Project located in north-west Tanzania. The 2023 exploration drilling program was designed to test for a continuation of the Tembo high-grade nickel mineralization into the Safari Link area, which comprises 1.4 kilometers of strike length north-east of the Tembo and the Safari zones. An exploration drilling program was developed for the zone located north-east of the Tembo Zone (up to and including the Safari Zone), known as Safari Link.

Previous drilling in the Tembo North and Safari zones showed the high potential for a continuation of mineralization along this trend. The Safari Link drilling program was designed to test for the presence of Tembo-style mineralization, as signaled by airborne EM/magnetics and ground EM coverage, which shows no significant gaps along strike to the north-east of Tembo. Eleven exploration diamond drillholes totaling 7,424 meters were completed in 2023 at Safari Link.

Seven of these holes returned assay results with significant intercepts of nickel mineralization located between 400 meters and 600 meters below surface. Exploration drilling was undertaken to test the boundaries of mineralization across the 1.0-kilometer gap between the Tembo and Safari zones. Lifezone Metals ceased exploration drilling in November 2023 after having successfully stepped out 300 meters north-east of Tembo North.

An additional 700 meters of strike length remains unexplored by drilling to the north-east toward the Safari Zone. The Safari Zone itself has a strike length of approximately 400 meters (as indicated from 2007 borehole EM surveys) and has five widely spaced drillholes, each with mineralized intercepts. The Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (?TANESCO?) has completed the construction of a 33-kilovolt power line connecting the Kabanga Camp, located on the Special Mining Licence, to the regional power grid.

This significant milestone enables reliable electricity at the Project, which will help to support early works and reduce the overall carbon emissions profile by decreasing the site?s reliance on diesel-electric generators for power. As a result, the site is expected to reduce its diesel consumption by 17,670 liters per month. The new power line is expected to be energized by the end of February.

Tanzania is focused on improving the reliability of its national power grid and aims to become a net exporter of electricity following the construction of new hydroelectric facilities, including the 2.1-gigawatt Jules Nyerere hydroelectric dam and the 88-megawatt Kakono hydroelectric power plant.
